Panorama Exhibition Macao Museum of Art 2019 Interior Fish Detail

A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains 3.0 Exhibition

Through various presentations by means of digital multimedia, interactive experiencing, spatial displays, and physical displays, “A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains 3.0” illustrates the aesthetic nuances of this most famous ancient Chinese painting, exploring it by “moving, travelling, seeing, living” within it, so as to convey the masterpiece’s philosophical pursuit of “harmony between man and nature”, prompting visitors to ponder the relationships between man and nature, man and society, and man and his soul.

The digital long scroll of A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains is the world’s first multi-channel technology enabling real-time interaction with the audience. By just waving a hand, a viewer can have a character in the painting walk out of the boat cabin and greet him or her. The digital scroll also projects the succession of seasons (spring, summer, autumn and winter) and weather changes (cloudy, sunny, rainy, snowy) on the wall screen as well as synchronizing with real-time weather changes in Macau.
